Finally got a bluescreen, just while browsing reddit. Don't have the software to give even a preliminary look at it though, so I suppose it's up to you.
Strange, I thought for sure I would be out of the water, especially since all the little freezes and things stopped when I got rid of the wireless card.
Maybe there's some more conclusive evidence inside though. I'm not sure.
This was also without the speakers in it.
Is it hardware related since I have pretty much nothing installed here?
Also, keep in mind that the people at the computer shop said it was due to a peripheral or something. Is there anything in there to detail if it's my monitor, mouse, or keyboard?

It would take too long to go back and read through your thread, and it wouldn't help anyways because we've created a new troubleshooting path by carefully documenting the steps to a stable build, so I'm just going to ask questions.

However, two things: Before I reverted to IE9, the SFC scan revealed this error once, and only once. I copied what seems to be the error mesage from the "sfcdetails" text document that the tutorial provided.

Then, afterwards, I got a blue screen after reverting to IE9. I believe it's the same error. I'll put the zip into the downloads. It occurred shortly after I opened IE and started typing in a web adress.
So, onto your questions:
|My System Specs
|18 Apr 2014
My apologies, I was here earlier while you were in-forum but I was called away before I could formulate a reply.
IE9 should run flawlessly on Win7 as it was built for Win7. Because of peer pressure Microsoft (MS) has created versions of IE originally meant for Win8; 10 and 11, for Win7, and users of Win7 have found these versions to be problematic when trying to upgrade.
On my machine I started with IE9 and had no problems until I upgraded to IE10, but I've since resolved those problems. I would rather bite the bullet and go to Win8.1 if I'd want to try and upgrade to IE11.
Then, afterwards, I got a blue screen after reverting to IE9. I believe it's the same error. I'll put the zip into the downloads. It occurred shortly after I opened IE and started typing in a web adress.
Thank you for covering all my questions, and If and when you have a new BSOD run the SF diagnostic tool and make sure you click on the "Grab All" button then upload that as a zip file.
The newest dmp points to a csrss.exe problem which involves:
CSRSS runs as a user-mode system service. When a user-mode process calls a function involving console windows, process/thread creation, or side-by-side support, instead of issuing a system call, the Win32 libraries (kernel32.dll, user32.dll, gdi32.dll) send an inter-process call to the CSRSS process which does most of the actual work without compromising the kernel.[1] Window manager and GDI services are handled by a kernel mode driver (win32k.sys) instead.

This error has been linked to excessive paged pool usage and may occur due to user-mode graphics drivers crossing over and passing bad data to the kernel code.

I realize this will be painful, but I would start at the top and try each one until you find the one that will work with your build. Remember, make sure you do a clean install of each driver and test stability after each new install.
You could try Auto-Detect to see if GeForce can try to pick one that may work with your build. The link I offer points to a list that you can do that, plus a list that I picked from information that you supplied in your System Specs.
Drivers | GeForce
If you do have new BSOD's with any of the new driver tries, run the SF diagnostic tool and save them and continue on to the next newest driver pack, remember, do a clean install, hopefully one of those will work, if not upload all of the SF diagnostic tool reports when you are done trying.
If this doesn't help then the only thing I can think of is there is incompatibility between your motherboard, ram, and the graphic card. You may have to change one or the other.
|My System Specs
|18 Apr 2014
I'll start from the top. Thanks.
I should mention though, what do you think of the error I recieved in the SFC scan? It seemed to be a major request of yours, but you didn't seem to comment on it in your last post.
Anyways, I'll be getting on installing those drivers, but just note this: you really can't stop me from installing Steam, plugging in at least my 360 controller, and playing Dark Souls II on the 25th. Even if it's against my best interests, I just have to.
That aside, do you think there's any one piece of hardware is easiest to figure out whether it's working properly or not? I've tested my GPU and my RAM (and i actually did get the system to run with only one stick in - it still didn't register any issues). In my gut feeling, I would think it to be the motherboard, but I can't really back it up in any way. Is it also worth noting that the majority of the BSODs I have had occurred while just browsing the Internet? It's rarely happened while playing games.
I'll also put an SF scan in the downloads.
Thank you!

This is how I looked at that, note the underlined sections:
So I've been running the SFC scans and reverted IE11 to IE9.
However, two things: Before I reverted to IE9, the SFC scan revealed this error once, and only once. I copied what seems to be the error mesage from the "sfcdetails" text document that the tutorial provided.
However, I have not been able to get the SFC scans to register this error since then. Should I try to manually reinstall the file using the tutorial in the SFC /SCANNOW page?
Then, afterwards, I got a blue screen after reverting to IE9. I believe it's the same error. I'll put the zip into the downloads. It occurred shortly after I opened IE and started typing in a web adress.
I didn't comment because the error that was generated occurred when you had IE11 installed and you didn't see it now that you have IE9 installed.
No, do not try to manually reinstall the file(s).
You believe its the same error? The BSOD after reverting to IE9 is different because of the different IE/OS files used. I saw only the standard files generated by the SF Diagnostic Tool, and no extra file relating to the SFC scan.
Since you reverted to IE9 I was okay with that and considered anything relating to IE11 a moot point. I see now that I should have been more explicit.
That aside, do you think there's any one piece of hardware is easiest to figure out whether it's working properly or not? I've tested my GPU and my RAM (and i actually did get the system to run with only one stick in - it still didn't register any issues). In my gut feeling, I would think it to be the motherboard, but I can't really back it up in any way. Is it also worth noting that the majority of the BSODs I have had occurred while just browsing the Internet? It's rarely happened while playing games.
I took the time and looked back on your thread and all of your problems can be related to the GPU, and I remember back on post#13 saying that the RAM you have is not compatible with your MB.

Well, it's been a couple weeks, and by far the longest period without a blue screen thus far. About two weeks or more, if I'm correct. I've been using it at about full capacity too - I've been downloading, installing, etc, as I wish, with no issues.
However, I received a blue screen shortly after starting up today. That's pretty much it - I'll include a new SF diagnosis scan, which should have the dumps in it, if I'm correct.
Thank you!

Your dmp reports: 0x50 with dxgkrnl and a related csrss problem. this all points to a faulty video card, usually related to defective RAM, be it main memory, L2 RAM cache, or video RAM never mind the drivers, and keep an eye on the temps, it may be getting too hot inside.
You can use: HWMonitor CPUID - System & hardware benchmark, monitoring, reporting and you will have to find the nominal temp range for your equipment usually found on the vendor site to have something to compare your readings to.
You can try the steps here: Bug Check 0x50: PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA (Windows Debuggers)
There is an outside chance you may have a corrupt user profile: User Account - Create a new one and log in with that. If it helps, delete the old one, but I'd concentrate on the things to try in the bug check 0x50 link first.

So where we left off last time: I was getting now infrequent BSODs about every two weeks. Since I last posted, that schedule has continued, and I've had about three or four BSODs since my last time here.
As for the circumstances of the BSODs, I don't really recall much. The most recent one, a couple days ago, occurred as I was exiting out of a game (TF2). The one before that, I think, happened on startup. I know it's not much to go on, but I'll be uploading an entirely new SF Scan to the downloads in this post.
As for what will change: Well, two things are going to happen: I now have two monitors (both fed through the dual-link DVI ports on my graphics card) and I am going to reinstall Windows (again) on a Solid State Drive. That's why I'm checking in now, so that the files can be uploaded before they get deleted.
You mentioned in your last post that the issues may be related to the graphics card's VRAM or just heating issues. Testing my temperatures in and out of stress, the temperatures seem to be fine. This computer runs fairly cool. To test my VRAM, am I going to have to run one of those FurMark tests that I ran a while ago (that gave normal results), or will I have to change something else?
That's about it then. Again, I'm really sorry about reviving this thread from oblivion again, and thank you!
Edit: Also, I forgot to mention, I have this strange error that occurs in about every internet browser that I've tried on this system. I don't expect anything to change when I install on an SSD, so here it is. Occasionally, my internet browsers (everything from IE11, IE9, Chrome, and Firefox) crash and will not reopen. I need to restart the computer if I want to use the same browser to use the internet. However, using another browser works fine. It's very strange, and I'm wondering if it's linked at all.

You had:
Arc suggested in posts #2 and #4 there were some things to check. Both Arc's post #2 and Golden's #12 suggest a bad motherboard, and in my post #13 I found that your AsRock MB doesn't like Crucial ram.
But, before you go hard and heavy into looking for drivers or memory try these suggestions from reviews I found from Amazon.
The first one mentions buggy realtek sound drivers, I see in your sys32 report you have a nvidia sound card. Disable that and use the on-board sound; Test while gaming and see if it makes a difference.
The second mentions random bios freezes and resetting the CMOS, Try all three methods and test while gaming after each reset, see if any method makes a difference.
A third test involves one that I thought of because of the sound card, disable the Asus video card and use the on-board graphics; Test while gaming and see if it makes a difference, and, in all of these tests I don't mean quality, I mean system stability, No BSOD's.
The order I would test gaming after each change would be;
I'd still go back to the Hardware - Stress Test With Prime95 And, let it run for longer than the 2hours you mentioned in your post #7 at least 12hours or overnight while your asleep. Report any results.
If all this doesn't help you'll have to investigate what I mentioned earlier:

21-year-old actress Greer Grammer and 15-year-old Disney star Bella Thorne wore the exact same Armani heels to the 2013 MTV Movie Awards.
Both looked gorgeous, too, but I kind of think they should've switched outfits. Check them out below, and tell us who you think wore the Armani high-heeled sandals better.
Bella Thorne at the 2013 MTV Movie Awards held at Sony Pictures Studios on April 14, 2013
Greer Grammer at the 2013 MTV Movie Awards held at Sony Pictures Studios on April 14, 2013
What do you think? Do the heels look better with a suit or with a dress?
The Armani sandals feature laminated-effect metallic straps with mesh inserts. This combination made the heels look very modern. Additionally, the pointed metallic cap toes contributed to the shoes' edgy look. Completing these sandals are slingback straps with buckle fastening and heels that measure about 4.7 inches.
Would you want these to be your next shoes?

Obama and Biden Escalate Campaign Rhetoric
TOLEDO, Ohio—The White House isn't saying President Barack Obama has plunged into election mode. But these days, he sure looks like a candidate in the middle of a campaign.
Mr. Obama and Vice President Joe Biden both found reason to visit the swing state of Ohio this week. A state dinner Wednesday honoring U.K. Prime Minister David Cameron included dozens of campaign fund-raisers—although Mr. Obama has been actively raising funds for some time—along with a pair of top executives from newspapers in the battleground states of Florida and Pennsylvania.
On Thursday, the Obama campaign released a 17-minute campaign video narrated by actor Tom Hanks. Titled "The Road We've Traveled," the video describes the administration's first three years in office, and officials hope it will push up attendance at more than 300 campaign parties, events that double as volunteer-training events.
Still, White House aides say the president's official duties come first—the campaign, second. "There will be a gradual increase in the amount of his time that he spends on political events, but we are a long way from the point where that becomes a significant part of his schedule," press secretary Jay Carney told reporters Thursday.
A luxury of the presidency is that official duties and campaign work often mesh. The White House has tried to make news on Tuesdays, which have the added benefit of eating into coverage devoted to Republican primaries held that day. Mr. Obama held a rare news conference on March 6, Super Tuesday, and this past Tuesday he announced he was filing a complaint against China over its export policies.
Also on Tuesday this week, the president invited Mr. Cameron to Dayton, Ohio, to watch Western Kentucky and Mississippi Valley State square off in an NCAA basketball-tournament game, a move that ensured ample coverage in local-media accounts of the Hilltoppers' 59-58 victory.
Mr. Biden was in Ohio on Thursday, delivering his first official campaign speech of the season. He repeatedly named Republican presidential front-runner Mitt Romney, and to a lesser extent his rivals Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich, as the vice president argued that Republican opposition to the Obama administration's rescue of General Motors and Chrysler was misguided.
"Gingrich and Romney and Santorum—they don't let the facts get in the way," Mr. Biden said. "The verdict is in. President Obama was right and they were dead wrong." The speech reprised Mr. Biden's 2008 campaign role of appealing to working-class voters in the industrial Midwest.
At about the same time Mr. Biden spoke, the president gave a speech in Maryland about energy and rising gas prices, a point of vulnerability for his re-election, and the need to pursue renewable energy sources. Without mentioning names, Mr. Obama said: "If some of these folks were around when Columbus set sail they must have been founding members of the Flat Earth Society."
Andrea Saul, a Romney spokeswoman, said in response that the president "has devastated the middle class by failing to live up to his promises," and that as president, "Mitt Romney will implement a bold, pro-growth jobs plan that will help all Americans recover from the broken Obama economy."
Said a Gingrich spokesman: "The vice president lives in a world where high gas prices and high unemployment are acceptable." The Santorum campaign didn't respond to requests for comment.
Mr. Biden's speech represents perhaps the most pronounced pivot by the White House, with its rhetoric aimed squarely at the Republican field.
It was the first of four policy speeches Mr. Biden will deliver in swing states in coming weeks. He will also discuss Medicare in Florida, where a large population of senior citizens depends on the program, and taxes in New Hampshire, a state with a long-standing anti-tax reputation. His fourth speech will focus on jobs and manufacturing, but it hasn't yet been decided where Mr. Biden will deliver it.

Set to become one of the biggest cult films of 2011, The Troll Hunter arrives surrounded by a massive sudden burst of interest after some stunning trailers and clips have been doing the rounds on the Internet. The advertising has been gearing the film up for it's numerous festival releases, it will then be available as VOD in the US and will have a brief theatrical run in June. Here in the UK, if the film happens to land in a cinema near you, then see it at the cinema to gain the full experience of this low budget film with huge ideas and stunning special effects.
The plot for this brilliant film is very simple, but it is the simplicity that really helps. The film never gets over complicated, and even with out of place characters added here and there and Government conspiracies and cover-ups, the film never gets too hard to follow. Three student filmmaker's have headed into Norway's absolutely beautiful and stunning countryside to film and study bear hunters. Legally they are allowed to do what they do, and only hunt bear when necessary. The hunter's are angry though, and with each group the students meet, they learn more and more about a mysterious bear hunter who is driving around at night and killing bears illegally. "If I see him, I'll blow his head off!" claims one hunter. The students spot the rogue hunter's seriously damaged white jeep and caravan which has bizarre weapons and huge hairy tale like things hanging from the ceiling, and decide to focus their efforts on documenting him.Easier said than done, and he evades the camera at every turn, warning them off when they do come face to face. All filmed on handheld, but thankfully, as these are 'students' they know how to hold a camera steady the majority of the time, this first twenty minutes of mystery builds wonderfully as we follow the strange man with what looks like giant teeth marks on his jeep.
The student can barely contain their excitement, and thankfully, even though they go to invading lengths to speak with him, you cannot help but like them and admire their determination. A film like this will only work if you like the characters that you will be spending time with, and these guys are all good fun to be around. One night they follow the hunter into the woods and soon find out what it really is he is hunting. As they search the dark woods for him, they hear a strange roaring noise in the woods, trees breaking and suddenly the hunter appears in front on their camera and screams "TROLL!!!!!" Not sure what to do, the students run with him, unsure whether to laugh of scream. Trolls are a myth you see, and the students begin to believe the hunter is off his rocker, and decide making a documentary on a mad-man will be far more interesting than some silly bear hunters. After telling the students some rules, making sure no one is Christian (Trolls can smell Christian blood) the hunter agrees to be filmed, and so begins an eye popping, gob smacking, awe inspiring adventure hunting giant trolls. We learn that the Government are hiding the Trolls, and if any step out of heir dedicated area, usually hunting for rocks or sheep to eat, then the Troll Hunter is called in to stop them. The set up is fantastic, he either usher's them back in, or kills them with UV lights which either turn a troll to stone, or explode them. If they are turned to stone, they are 're-harvested' in a bizarre and incredibly imaginative idea.
The build up is wonderful, and having breakfast with the Troll Hunter as he explains everything you need to know is fascinating stuff. The Trolls themselves looks stunning, and considering the small budget, this films is indeed another lesson to the big budget special effects guys that you can make a truly great special effects movie on a budget. What really works here is the trolls and the scenery together. Seeing an 80 foot troll stomping over snow covered mountains, three headed trolls chasing you through fantastic looking woods, honestly the landscapes serve as a beautiful background, a realistic ingredient in making the trolls looks incredibly real and it also serves as a powerful and mystical element that gives the film a really strong sense of 'folklore'. As was said when the awesome trailers and clips were coming out, this film really has to be seen to be believed as it truly is a stunning piece of work. While the plot is kept pretty basic, the characters that do pop up now and then are all believable, and the script is well written as to not take things too seriously, there is an element of fun amongst all the chases, hunting and moments of pure dread. Seeing the students covering themselves in 'troll essence' is a brilliant scene, as is the Troll Hunter attempting to get a blood sample from a troll to find out what is making them more aggressive. When you get to this scene, and considering it is on a bridge, I guarantee you will think of John Cleese as The Black Knight in Monty Python's Holy Grail, just for the briefest of moments.
There is a lot to be said about a film that has around four big set pieces, with an ending you know is coming from seeing the trailer, and yet it can still hold your attention between those scenes. The film never over stays its welcome, and the pacing is pretty much spot on. You will laugh, you will be scared, you'll be thrilled, you'll be shocked, you'll feel sad, you'll feel emotions and you will pretty much have the time of your life for just over 90 minutes, the Troll Hunter is THAT much fun. Please note, it is NOT a film to be taken too seriously, otherwise you may find it a bit silly or pointless, but if you go in with an open mind (and granted, why wouldn't you) then there is a LOT to love about this movie, and I mean a LOT. This is superior film-making, fun film-making and very current film-making. It works on so many levels so please please see it now before the stupid American remake arrives, and it will arrive as a deal was signed today!! Honestly, Troll Hunter is simply brilliant!!

This is a very cool opportunity due to the fact that photography isn't usually allowed in the Sistine chapel. Of course it can't compare to the beauty of the place in person, but in some ways it's almost more powerful as this room is usually filled to the brim with tourists, seeing it empty is a bit more striking as you can appreciate the fool instead of missing it in the crowds of people.

Visiting the Haga Sophia is on my bucket list for sure! I find it fascinating how one beautiful site can radiate so many different historical periods as well as cultural differences. The Haga Sophia has traces of the religions and people that held control over it at one time or another.
Matt Ramsdell's curator insight, December 7, 2015 4:59 PM
Haga Sophia is a cultural landmark that has been a Christian and Muslim holy site that all depends on who was in control of the land of that particular time. This is a great example of different times in history that use the same monument and how it plays a significant role in the people of time past and present.
Adam Deneault's curator insight, December 14, 2015 4:29 PM
This is a place of both Christian and Muslim society. It is in control by a system of sequent occupancy, meaning that who ever is in control of the area of the time is in control of the Haga Sophia. This one site shows the past of different religions and people. It tells a story of its past, present and future.
Jacob Crowell's curator insight, November 3, 2014 1:58 PM
You can see in this woman's face that the years have been hard for her living as refugee. Although this seems like National Geographic giving themselves a pat on the back it is important to remember that this women became a national symbol for refugees and yet her life did not improve and furthermore she had no idea that her picture was so well known.
David Lizotte's curator insight, February 27, 2015 6:36 PM
I never would have imagined the "Afghan girl" being alive. It's amazing how National Geographic was able to catch up and speak with her and photograph her. This demonstrates the pure professionalism and global outreach national geographic has.
One of the things I am most thankful about is that I do not live in a war torn society. Being separated from my family, forced to flee and become a refugee is a horrid way of life that I know I would struggle to endure. Some Afghanistan people have been doing this for over twenty years.
One time I was having a discussion with my friend. We talking about America and the westernized part of the world. He and I agreed how lucky we were to be born in America. We were born white males in the United States of America. We could have been born a woman living in Iran or Iraq, or even as a little rural Afghan boy whom would eventually be taken and abused by theTaliban. We kept going on with different scenarios and different countries.
Want I want for people to realize is how advanced the United States of America is. Yes, we have our problems... but non comparable to other nations. Look at nations such as Afghanistan, Iraq, The Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Uganda. These are first world nations which have war torn regions occupied by terrorists of all sorts. They also have little to no functioning government, although Afghanistan is improving. Even second world nations, although developing at a steady pace are plagued with an exponential amount of violent crimes and corruption. South Africa would be a prime example.
Its amazing to read about the "Afghan girl"(s) or better yet Sharbat Gula. After all she has gone through she still has hope for her younger children. After enduring such a life of foul experiences she is still able to place all her faith into Allah and hope for the best for her children. It is also neat to see her place such a high level of importance on education. Education is the foundation for all development.
Mark Hathaway's curator insight, October 20, 2015 6:58 AM
These two images are rather striking. They depict seventeen years in the life a young female Afghani refuge. They depict seventeen years of hell. The woman in this photograph has lived a hard life. Seventeen years probably feels like fifty years to her. On her face, you see the effects of living a life as a refugee. A life of not having a true home or place that you can count on. A life of living in deplorable refugee camps. It is the shame of the world, that people are forced to live like this. Unfortunately this women's story is an all to common occurrence in Afghanistan. Thousands have suffered similar fates in refugee camps. We must never forget the suffering of these people.
Matt Mallinson's comment, November 7, 2012 3:25 PM
I like that the Sikh religion allows people of all religions to visit their holy temple. These people seem like good people.
Brian Nicoll's curator insight, December 12, 2012 1:18 AM
I was impressed by the fact that the people of the Sikh religion are very accepting of people who remain outside their system of beliefs. They acknowledge the fact that there are other religions and don't see any reason to treat them with anything but respect. These people are most definitely good people.
Samuel D'Amore's curator insight, December 17, 2014 2:46 AM
This temple is amazing because it is not only a place of worship but also a huge free eatery. This temple plays a role in the poor relief of the area because all poor people are welcome to come and eat. The fact they welcome those of different faiths as well into this temple of worship is something that is really remarkable because of the fear and distrust many faiths seem to have of one another. If only more places of worship acts as this one.

Marissa Roy's curator insight, October 30, 2013 12:14 PM
The barrier in Belfast, Ireland is an impressive one. It has been there since the 1960s and having it there has become a security for the residence on both sides. Neither side wants it taken down, however, they have extremely different political/religious views. It seems strange to me that these people would prefer living in prison-like conditions just because that is the way it has been for so long. So long as the physical walls stay up, so will the cultural walls between these people.
Nathan Chasse's curator insight, March 17, 2014 8:13 AM
This article is about large walls which were constructed fifty years ago to separate a part Belfast, Northern Ireland to protect citizens from conflicts between loyalists and separatists. Q wall separating people could temporarily protect people from violent conflict, but it would undoubtedly ensure continued conflict and intensify the feeling of "Us vs. Them." Though the people interviewed from both sides of the wall in the article like the wall since it gives them a feeling of security, the wall is likely damaging to a peace process in Northern Ireland.
Gene Gagne's curator insight, November 18, 2015 2:56 PM
We have seen walls in our class on pictures and videos but it usually is dividing tourists from natives, rich and the poor, even racial reasons. One of the comments made in this article was it felt safe with a prison atmosphere which statistics show that a lot of inmates who are released end up as repeated offenders because they had no other life except prison life. They are accustomed to it and know the rules and know how to live. I guess that is how these people feel. Culturally though they will not expand and experience only what their culture has to offer what will happen when they get old and the birthrate does not keep up with the death rate? I couldn't live like this.
Wen Shi's curator insight, July 13, 2014 4:17 AM
I was so shocked while reading this ariticle and seeing those pictures. The conflict between the Palestinians and Israelis is something that is deeply rooted in the history of the two nations. And the war, resulted by this conflict, has taken away many people's lives. The 2 countries's people are suffering. Many kids are just at our ages, they could not get education or anything else that we take for granted here, even had to bear the pain of losing relatives and homes. I could never imagine how sad and disastrous wars can be. :(
Hossan Epiques Novelle's curator insight, July 13, 2014 4:58 AM
The two countries should take the chance to resolve the conflict amicably before the situation tips over and war is inevitable. The loss of lives resulting from the war would be pointless.
Zhiyang Liang's curator insight, July 13, 2014 12:02 PM
In my perspective, why does people will have a thought of eliminating prejudice is that prejudice can lead to unfair treatment or the violation of rights of individuals or groups of people just like the conflict between Israel and Gaza.
Jason Schneider's curator insight, March 19, 2015 8:40 PM
From 1946 to 2000, Palestine (Islamic individuals) have been at war with Israel (Jewish individuals) over land in Israel/Palestine. In 1946, Palestine took over most of Israel but throughout the decades up until 2000, Israel slowly won over almost every piece of Israel and now, Palestine barely has any land in Israel. From 1949 to 1967, Palestine took over a specific area of Israel known as the West Bank and another small part of Israel known as Gaza. There was a lot of war going on between Israel and Palestine because Israel discriminated against non-Jews. Palestinians became refugees but that didn't stop Israel from fighting to take over Palestinian land.
Kendra King's curator insight, April 30, 2015 1:03 AM
The video was informative, but bias. I have a stronger understanding of how Israel is exploiting, how the borders were re-drawn, and how the make up of the original border mattered. However, the author gave me these facts in a very pro-Palestinian manner. The narrator sees the Palatines as refugees instead of the Jews, who as the narrator said, were "refugees living where people already lived." This similar identity clearly resonated with the narrator who almost 2 minutes of the video speaking about how the treatment of the new refugees was wrong. While a fair amount of the rest of the video advocated a solution to help Palestinian, hence the negative portrayals of the United States backed peace talks.
What was missing from this video was Israeli's story. The Jewish community had become a large force within Palestinian, but was not being aptly recognized. In fact, the Palestinian's prior to the UN offer weren't treating the Jews fair. When this offer came along, it was the Palestinian's who started the fight, a point that was down played in this video as the narrator rushed to point the finger at Israeli's wrong doings. Yet, another portrayal of this conflict mentioned in class, showed the Israeli's feel threatened because they are a minority surrounded by enemies within the region. All of this information means that the Palestinian's and other neighbors play more of a negative hand in the land dispute than what the narrator says.
To be honest, I don't know enough about either side to really say who I support. However, from what I gather, neither side is a bushel of roses. As learned in class their were a fair deal of geographic tensions from BOTH parties that caused the fighting and their is still a fair deal of geographic tensions from BOTH parties that factor into the fighting today. Thus, the bias of this video acts as a reminder that a person looking to understand a heated conflict, such as this one between neighbors, must view the information with causation.
Martin Kemp's curator insight, December 17, 2015 2:30 PM
first off, this video is very pro isrelis which must be kept in mind. also i dont know what the palestinians and surrounding countries expected. the jews had nowhere to go and were sent there by england. where else where they to go? instead of accepting this the palestinians started to attack them and when they lost they wanted to come back and live there, of course the jews were not going to let them back in. neither side is completely right or wrong but i can see the jewish side more than the palestinians.

D'oh! Should learn to read more carefully...if anyone needs to know you get 2 copies of the game and 2 copies of the mini-expansion at the $85 dollar level. Corrected my support level and a happier man for it! Thanks Erik!

Hello! Just became a supporter for 2 copies of this very cool looking card game. My question for clarification is, will this pledge level ($75), also include 2 copies of the mini expansion? Thank you for your time and consideration and wish you all the best on this project!

@Mark - Funny you should ask :-). I actually have a design diary going up tomorrow in which I will answer that very question! I'll post a link here and on Twitter when it is available.
And thank you very much for the compliments, I've worked really hard to make this look and play as good as it possibly can.

I was on the fence and still awake at 1:30 here, and the random two YouTube videos of a simple turn sold it to me! You really should make more of those and show off the game in motion. FYI the art work is top notch too. Your nephews really could be superheroes!
One thing I didn't see on the site here was end game. How do you win the game?

This looks awesome with the new art and logo. The alternative card design swayed me :) I'm in :) Let's make it to $7000. This game is looking hot.

The mini expansion will center around a new card type: Gear, which will allow you to augment your characters with weapons, armor, and other equipment. It will contain additional characters with new powers and I'll be revealing more about the cards themselves in future updates.
ZTSugawara on
can you share any details about the mini expansion and how it will change game play
Michelle York on
Erik, I just want you to know I am REALLY excited for you. I hope you get all the funding (plus some) that you need. Thanks for the video posts.. the rules are simple enough; however, as a beginning gamer they are helpful!
Albino Dragon 25-time creatorSuperbackeron
Awesome, thank you. And if anyone else knows of some other places we could round up some more backers, please let us know.

Congratulations on a great first day!
I will try to get what buzz i can get going on facebook.

Professional services company Towers Watson has agreed to acquire Brovada, a Canadian insurance technology business best known for the BrovadaOne platform, an application for integrating and automating interactions between insurers, and their agents and brokers.
"Brovada is a dynamic organization that has developed an exciting technology that will fit well with Towers Watson's portfolio of software," said Eric Speer, global leader for Towers Watson's risk and financial services business segment. "The addition of the BrovadaOne platform will enable us to offer insurers a broader suite of products via software-as-a-service and cloud-based technologies."
Towers Watson agreed to purchase Brovada for $15.24 million USD; the transaction will have no material impact to fiscal year 2016 earnings, the companies said, and the transaction is expected to close in the coming weeks.
"We have experienced strong growth at Brovada by providing great software with a strong customer focus. Joining Towers Watson will enable Brovada to accelerate the reach of our software into new markets and continue that growth," said Karl Greenlaw, founder and CEO of Brovada. "Additionally, our two firms have a common commitment to excellent client service and innovation that will benefit both our clients and employees."

Restylane Silk Injectable Filler for the Lips
Unfortunately, as we grow older, no areas of the face are exempt from the aging process, including the lips. Loss of volume can result in thinner, less plump lips and aid to an overall aged appearance of the face. Plastic surgeons have long used injectable fillers to combat aging of the lips, but Restylane Silk is the first injectable filler specifically designed for lip enhancement. Dr. Franckle is proud to offer a range of injectable fillers to provide his patients with the best options.
Treatment Areas for Restylane Silk
Restylane Silk is FDA approved for lip enhancement (injected into the lips) as well as treatment of the lines and wrinkles and around the mouth in patients over the age of 21. The formulation of Restylane Silk is designed to be used in and around the lips, which aids in precise lip shaping and line control.
How Does Restylane Silk Work?
Restylane Silk is a clear gel formulation of hyaluronic acid used to add volume temporarily to the treated areas. Hyaluronic acid is a sugar that is naturally present in our skin, reducing the risk of an allergic reaction. Another unique aspect of Restylane Silk is the formation. It is made of smaller, smoother particles than those used in other Restylane products. This formation, along with the specially designed ultra-fine needle, are intended to improve accuracy and offer more precise results.
What to Expect at theTreatment
All injectable filler appointments at our office begin with a short consultation with Dr. Franckle to determine if you are a candidate and to discuss a treatment plan. The procedure itself takes 20 to 30 minutes. Some patients may choose to use an anesthetic cream for added comfort. There is no downtime associated with a Restylane Silk treatment. Redness around the treatment area is common but generally subsides within an hour after leaving the office. Bruising around the injection site can occur within the first week of post-treatment but can be easily covered up with makeup. Results from Restylane Silk typically last 6-12 months.
Combining Treatments for Best Results
Combining your Restylane Silk treatment with other less invasive treatments, such as BOTOX® Cosmetic, Dysport, or other injectable fillers may enhance your results even further. Restylane, Restylane Lyft, and Juvederm can be great options to fill in deep wrinkles of the nasolabial folds (lines from your nose to the corner of your mouth) and/or add volume to hollowed cheeks (an unwelcome effect of aging). Combining the two treatments into one, performed within the same office visit, can produce an overall healthier, natural, and younger looking appearance.
